Evil, spell-casting, green monsters that can be randomly encountered in the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game Dragon Warrior III. Nevs are known to carry 'Poison Moth Powder' (the creatures use this compound when casting their 'Chaos' spell)--sometimes an adventurer may find a bag of this magical dust among a Nev's remains after defeating one in battle.

ABILITIES:Nevs are proficient in the magical arts and can cast two spells. The first, 'Chaos', confuses its target, causing the dazed individual to attack his or her allies. The second, 'Surround', creates a misty, illusionary image around the Nev's opponent(s), distracting would-be-attackers. Nevs can also deliver painful blows from their wooden magic staffs.

WEAKNESSES:
Nevs are cowardly and will often flee from battle, particularly when faced with a superior force. The flabby body of this monster cannot take much physical punishment. Nevs are more powerful that their pale, non-magical cousin, the Lumpus, but not nearly as strong as their crimson relatives, the Derangers.
